Cooking
Sweet Buns with Silky Vanilla Custard
· 4 servings
Make the starter
Prepare a starter (kvásek) from lukewarm milk, a pinch of sugar and yeast.
Let it rise
In a bowl, combine the flour, the starter, the eggs (heru) and a pinch of salt. Dust with a little flour and leave in a warm place to rise.
Fold and rise again
Stir the dough once more and let it rise a second time (this makes the finished buns fluffier).
Shape the buns
Shape the dough into small buns and arrange them in a greased baking dish. You can brush them with melted butter, if you like.
Bake
Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C until nicely golden brown.
Make the egg yolk custard
Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until you get a smooth, pale, fluffy mixture. Whisk the vanilla and cornstarch into the milk and bring to a boil. Take off the heat and set into a water bath, which you then gently heat again.
Temper and gently heat
Gradually whisk the egg yolk mixture into the milk, keeping the custard hot but never letting it boil, so the yolks don't curdle.
Serve
Serve this wonderful vanilla custard alongside the warm buns with their crisp little crust. Kids and adults alike will be licking their spoons clean!
